About
Features
- Presents the fundamentals of descriptive geometry in a series of small, pedagogically sound units to complement typical daily in-class sessions:
-
Uses a simplified organization that divides content into relatively short, homogeneous chapters and that follows the organization of the author's Descriptive Geometry Worksheets, Series A and B, in which new principles are introduced in order of need as well as of difficulty. Pg.___
-
- Provides step-by-step solution illustrations to make the construction easy to follow, and provides solutions in pictorial form whenever possible. Pg.___
- Focuses on applications that illuminate fundamentals and introduce new engineering experiences. Pg.___
- Gives all quantitative information in metric units. Pg.___
- Contains an entire chapter of condensed review material and problems — the solutions of which entail combinations of principles. Pg.___
- Features abstract, laboratory, practical, and (when appropriate) computer problems at the end of each chapter. Pg.___
-
Contains numerous pictorial projects designed to reinforce related orthographic principles, and to help students develop their depth perception and visualization ability — which are essential to creative design. Pg.___
-
Presents problems in layout form exactly as they are to be reproduced on the drawing paper. Pg.___
-
Includes computer graphic problems and projects that use both BASIC and FORTRAN — and that may be solved on both mainframe and personal computers. Pg.___
-
- Contains a completely revised set of full-size self- assessment problems/projects at the end of each chapter. Pg.___
-
Projects may be solved directly in the text. Pg.___
-
Provides carefully delineated solutions in an appendix. Pg.___
-
- Adds practical problems that students must set up before finding the solutions. Pg.___

In this book the author has fulfilled the need for a descriptive geometry textbook in which the fundamentals are presented in the same pedagogically sound units of work, as they are usually introduced in daily presentation.
